I think this guy is taking the easy route out by using his buddy's DW to propose. He should really get creative and do something special for her, not just use all of your efforts and planning for his own means. It is kind of selfish and she may even be emabarrassed to tell her friends/family where and when he did it. Maybe if you tell him this angle he will change his mind? Good Luck!! I am in shock that anyone would even consider being "embarassed" by how you were proposed to, I mean, that doens't even calculate in my head. A man you love is asking you to be his wife ... who the F cares WHERE he asks this, or even HOW? Maybe I am just way too laid back about stuff like this, but you don't get engaged so you have a story to tell. You get engaged because you want to spend the rest of your life with someone. From the guy's perspective, anyone that would care that much about the proposal isn't someone I'd want to marry anyway!
And for the record, I think someone mentioned that all of the "married" ladies say that the OP was being unreasonable by being upset about sharing "her" wedding week. I think it has more to do with your personality and character than it does your marital status. I wouldn't have cared if someone asked if they could get married on our wedding week, I still had a beautiful ceremony with the man I love ... that was my goal! Having someone share that special day would have only made it that much more special. Apparently I am in the minority.
